Wouldn&#39;t it be fun to switch out two of your strip set pieces for a back ground fabric to make that football shape dominate?Sharon - INhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921429404805177010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-78522392226831536022016-02-23T17:55:02.283-05:002016-02-23T17:55:02.283-05:00Yes, if you study closely, you will see that kalei...Yes, if you study closely, you will see that kaleidoscope quilts that really show that circular movement are arranged with alternating darks and lights. Yours sometimes have dark next to dark, which obscures the pattern. Love the colors, though.

I&#39;ve learned the only way to really control the design is to control the values. It&#39;s also hard to tell from photos. I did a 60 x 60 quilt by putting every single triangle on my design wall before piecing it. It&#39;s on my blog, Paula B Quilts at RSC15, week 52 post. Color is something we never stop learning about, which is so much fun.

They look wonderful. Yes, the curve is not hidden, but great idea for another colorway! So clever to use the ruler you&#39;ve had sitting around. I have the same problem.
